    LR4 poor idle with AC in drive

    Shooting wildly here... You said "when you come to a stop." Does it matter whether it's in park or drive when this happens? Also, have you checked the alternator voltage when this is happening?

    Power Supply Distribution Box/Gateway Module - Eco Stop/Start - Help Understanding

    I know some circuits will show voltage at a terminal when using a high-impedance voltmeter, but in reality there's no current there to speak of. Possibly a measurement issue? Or can you actually power a test bulb at both terminals with the engine off?

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Am I right that the fuel filter is only accessible inside the tank, too? Trying to figure out what all ought to really be replaced when dropping the tank for this work.

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    I only see the Hitachi kits represented there. Not AMK. Did you see one?

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Check it…I think it’s a blank plug.

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    Does anyone know how this desiccant system works? It looks really small to me, like it would only hold a tablespoon or two of silica, and I wonder how it could possibly dry air for any length of time. And with the number of compressor and valve issues that seem to be related to the desiccant, it...

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    Interesting. Sounds like the desiccant ought to be part of the regular maintenance. Anyone know what the desiccant actually is? Silica beads that can be purchased separately? Or even whether that Aramox unit has the desiccant built-in?

    Wrong transfer case fluid

    I'm with @ktm525 . I doubt anything has been damaged. In fact, I'd be more worried if thinner fluid than was called for was used. Have them flush it a couple of times and it should be fine, but that's just what I would do.

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    Thanks, @ryanjl . I did find some things like this that replaces internals, but actually nothing about the desiccant. I can't tell whether the desiccant is kind of part of that assembly, or located elsewhere, or what.

    ...go to: @jlglr4 , @ryanjl and @Michael Gain, among others. The sheer amount of time they spend sharing knowledge with complete strangers deserves to be recognized! Thanks to everyone here who is so helpful.

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    I may be running into a limitation of the search engine here, but I can only find a little info about the AMK compressors, which I have on my 2016 LR4. One post that I ran across said that Lucky 8 had described them as "not rebuildable." I'd been planning on getting a rebuild kit for the...

    Passenger fan slowing down?

    Long shot, but... I've had mice nest in air ducts before, and create blockages. Usually you smell it, too, though. But maybe putting a vacuum on the vent to try to force a fair amount of flow through the system would help? Also, check the cabin air filter, or just remove it temporarily and see...

    DC to DC charger install

    No expert at all here, but...wouldn't the current rating just refer to the maximum the device COULD do, not what it actually throughputs all the time? I'm not understanding why the alternator would need to keep up? I guess I'd expect an intelligent charger like that (basically an external BMS...

    Tyre Trek Swing Away

    Really? I state my experience with one design without comparing it to any other, and that's your conclusion? As for the "engineers design" part, it wouldn't surprise me much to find that there was no engineer designing either one. And often just having someone who's good at fabrication is good...

    Tyre Trek Swing Away

    I have the Tactical unit, and for the most part it is pretty stout. I do think the round tubing/clamp thing they have going for mounting the tire leaves a little to be desired; I think they tried to strike the best balance they could think of in terms of making it flexible enough for various...

    Check Engine Light and Fault Codes

    As usual, I think @jlglr4 's logic is really sound, and he's making good recommendations. The only thing I might add to what he said is to check the condition of the battery and alternator in case there is a problem with voltage leading to some of the seemingly strange mix of codes.

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    What @jlglr4 said. Coolant at the intake is not good. Are you sure that didn't get on those mating surfaces some other way as you were taking things apart? If that coolant was on the inside part of the seal the gasket makes there, it seems very unlikely that there was enough of an air leak...

    LR4 audio from phone

    Reviving an old thread. Man, I wish there was a more reliable way to get the connection working using the USB cable to an iPhone. The audio quality is distinctly better that way than via Bluetooth. In a number of audible ways. It seems like every time I connect a phone to the cable, it fires...

    V8 Coolant Manifold / Crossover & Maintenance Parts List

    Hmmm...maybe you could drain some (or all) of the coolant, pressurize the system with air and use soapy water to identify exactly where the leak is? Defective part, or at least which joint is leaking?

    V8 Coolant Manifold / Crossover & Maintenance Parts List

    That's not good news, from my perspective. I pressure-tested my system cold at 16PSI without any leaks before I took it on the road. It sounds like maybe something with that pipe (O-rings?) didn't seat properly or has failed. I noticed that at least one parts list I saw here did NOT include the...

    Oil in intake manifold

    I made my own for the Jeep CRD that I had, using heater hose and some PVC pipe with stainless scouring pads in it. Basically a good vertical length of pipe with the scouring pads in it to help condense oil vapors out, and a drain plug on the bottom of it that I drained at oil changes. Seemed to...

    Using an exhaust jack

    I'm curious as to whether anyone has used an exhaust jack on their LR4s. I was gifted one from a guy I know who totaled his Wrangler, and it has never been used. I know I need to block off one of the outlet pipes to use it at all since there is a crossover pipe, but I'm more curious about where...

    LR4 Tailgate not opening

    @avslash , I'm not quite seeing the finished product here. How is the other end of the cable terminated, and how do you access it to trip the actuator?

    Lifted suspension/calibration issue

    Maybe I misunderstand the way the suspension works. Is there more at work than just the height sensors? If you calibrate it on level ground, then park on a slope with the nose high, is it going to raise the rear and lower the front to try to level it a bit? And does it do the same thing side to...
